OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hey Tina - That sounds great! So glad you will be able to see Jamie too. We are heading to Norfolk next weekend. Driving Katie's car down to her. It will be a quick trip since we have to fly back on Sunday since Thomas starts driver's Ed on Monday.
We haven't had less than 90s (upper) and humid for over a week. Heat warnings continue. Yesterday we got a little rain, otherwise it has been very dry in our area.

July is part of their rainy season. I remember when we were there for the Tiger Cruise we were soaked to the bone going from the Navy Lodge to the ship. One of the days before the trip it would down pour and then stop. Thomas was in the pool on base and they would make him get out and then he could go back in just a little later of the rain cloud passed over.
Katie ships is back - just some quick 'at sea trials'. She is disappointed that the ship's schedule has changed again and she will not be out to sea like she had hoped (long underway). Katie misses being out at sea.

Oh yeah, Josh also mentioned that it has been cloudy and rainy for the past 3 weeks! UGH! He's hoping for sunny skies when he is home :-)

I love the banner up top! I remember it from last year too. I'd like to use it for my Facebook cover, but when I went to add it, FB says you can't use anything that is copywrighted....and I'm thinking it probably is :-(
Got a text from Josh this morning. Says he now has the rest of the week off. Asked him if he had plans and says "just relaxing...lol"
Kim: sounds like Hans is doing well in his new location.
Marianne: sounds like Katie's ship was headed out to sea? Would love to hear about her travels when it's no longer OPSEC.
Wishing all a fabulous 4th!
Take care,
Cathy

Kyann - sounds like you and your family are packing a lot into your trip! Sounds wonderful. Not sure if I have the nerve to try parasailing though.
The FRG reported that Debbie effected Katie's ship some, but the stayed on schedule.

Hi all. I have read your posts. We came to Florida despite debby. Got the tail end of it. We went to the east coast first and got some ocean time and sight seeing done. My step brother paints murals and tanks so we stopped in Savannah and saw one. Then we saw a couple in Tampa. We are taking our daughter to a tween concert tonight. Got to visit with friends and family. It's hot here now but hotter yet up in Ohio. My daughter, Kami, and I did para sail. Whew, glad that's over. Haha. Anyway, still bummed we couldn't go to Japan to see Hunter, but we are glsd to spend this time with Kami.
Hope you all are doing well and enjoying your summer.
